Other than going to a paint supply and spending the money on sealer, basecoat, and clear(in pints about 200 bucks) I would say pay the paint shop to do it. Material is expensive even if it is only a small grill they don't sell just enough paint to do that part it is sold by the pint minimum. Anyway Let the paint shops do it at least you will be happy with the job and the color will match!! Just my 2 cents.

Good luck!

Yeah, get a paint shop to do it. Either look around for a cheaper place, or just pay the money, cause most likely buying hte paint supplies to do it will run you well over 100$ anyways.
